Cooling Soup
If it’s a constant struggle to get your kids to eat more vegetables, try this neat trick from nutritionist Annalisa Ekbladh: Instead of cooling soup with ice cubes, toss in a few frozen veggies. It won’t dilute the mix, and kids are so taken with the approach, they typically eat them up. Better yet, put a small bowl of frozen veggies on the table and let thekids add the frozen veggies to the soup themselves.
Smoke Detector Ornament
Christmas trees cause about 300 fires each year. While
firefighters have long urged tree owners to keep the tree
well watered, keep it away from heat sources, and be
careful with decorating lights, companies are now selling
another safeguard — a heat alarm ornament. Disguised as
a routine mirrored ball, it can be hung on the tree and
emits an alarm when the temperature reaches 110 degrees
Fahrenheit. Firefighters warn that this should not replace a
traditional smoke detector — which every house should
have — but it is a wise supplement, especially if the tree
is in a room far away from the smoke detector, because
this could give homeowners advance warning. The
ornaments cost around $25 and can be found in specialty
catalogs, some hardware stores, and online.

The High Price of Being Late
According to the calculations of Harold Taylor, a time  management consultant, the average cost of a minute to an American employee (making $50,000 a year) is about 50 cents. That means if you keep 10 people waiting 10 minutes for a meeting, the cost is $50. |

Thanks For The Kind Words
Dear Bob,
I wanted to drop a line and let you know how
impressed I was to attend and observe the Car
Care Clinic that you provided to your customers.
To find an auto repair facility that not only does
a good quality job, but also seems to care about
their clientele, is a rare find. But to find shop that
even goes beyond that and takes a proactive
approach to their customers education is even
rarer. Keep up the great work.
